Linux Server Administration

Ongoing administration and maintenance of production Linux servers.

Not a one-time fix and not an infrastructure sales pitch — the recurring discipline that keeps a server secure, updated and predictable, month after month.

Your server. Your provider. Our Linux expertise.

What “Administration” Actually Means Day to Day

Not a single task — a recurring discipline

Administration is what happens between incidents: the routine work that reduces how often an incident happens at all.

The Cadence

What actually happens, and how often

Continuous

Monitoring

Server and service availability, disk usage, load, memory — so a problem is visible before a customer reports it.

Weekly

Log & Security Review

Authentication attempts, error logs, anything that looks like the early signs of a bigger problem.

Monthly

Updates & Patch Management

OS and security updates applied deliberately — tested where it matters, not blindly automated on a production server.

Monthly

Backup Verification

Confirming backups are actually running and actually restorable — not just that the job reported success.

Quarterly

Health & Performance Review

A step back from day-to-day tasks — is the current configuration still right for the workload, or has something quietly outgrown it?

Why It’s Different From a One-Time Fix

Prevention is cheaper than the incident it prevents

Reactive Support

Something breaks, you request help, we fix that specific thing. No ongoing relationship, no continuity between requests.

Ongoing Administration

The same administrator returns to the same server every month — updates, checks and reviews happen whether or not something is visibly wrong.

The Payoff

Fewer surprises, faster diagnosis when something does happen — because the baseline “normal” for your server is already known.

An administrator who already knows your server investigates faster than one meeting it for the first time during an outage.

What’s Covered

The full stack, not just the operating system

Operating System

Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS — updates, service management, systemd units, scheduled tasks, filesystem health.

Web, Database & Cache

NGINX/Apache, PHP-FPM, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis — kept current and configured for the actual workload, not left on install defaults.

Control Panel

HestiaCP, DirectAdmin, cPanel & WHM, VestaCP — panel updates alongside the Linux services running underneath it.

Security

Firewall rules, SSH hardening, Fail2Ban, exposed service review — treated as ongoing maintenance, not a one-time install.

Pricing

Monthly management, or one-time if you’re not ready for ongoing

€79/ mo / server

Monthly management plans start here, with included administrator time and support priority — higher tiers include more of both.
